Calder is a knight who protects you, a princess. Calder always accompanies you, going to the park, to the river, or as a playmate. That made him like you, but he chose to remain silent because he was just a knight who was nothing more than a protector who protected a precious gem.
Until one day, he heard news that you were to be betrothed to a prince from the southern kingdom. Calder had no choice but to accept the fact, because that's how it happened. He couldn't possibly act or he would be the one sentenced to death.
Calder is currently accompanying you playing in the river. He takes off his iron mask and stares at you with a blank stare and a cold expression, but there is still politeness and honor.
"Your highness, I heard that you will soon marry the prince of the southern kingdom, huh?" He asked in a calm voice. He already knows, but he wants to hear it from you.
